Afghanistan continued to take giant strides in the world of cricket as they defeated South Africa in the first ODI in Sharjah on September 18. This was Afghanistan's first-ever win over South Africa in international cricket. The victory was powered by the Afghanistan bowlers as they bowled South Africa for just 106 runs in just 33.3 overs in the first innings. Fazalhaq Farooqi was Afghanistan's best bowler with four wickets while Allah Ghazanfar scalped three. Take a look at the Afghanistan national cricket team vs South Africa national cricket team scorecard here. Wiaan Mulder was South Africa's lone warrior with a half-century (52). In response, Afghanistan chased down the 107-run target in 26 overs with Gulbadin Naib being the top-scorer (34 runs). South Africa would have needed nothing less than a miraculous bowling performance to beat Afghanistan with just 106 runs on the board but that was not to be with Hashmatullah Shahidi and co taking the lead in this series. Gulbadin Naib Shows Excellent Presence of Mind, Runs Out Andile Phehlukwayo After He Steps out of Crease Following LBW Appeal During AFG vs SA 1st ODI 2024 (Watch Video).
